No dealer here in AZ even stocked the SE trim Yaris hatch in 2018 thus far, nor have any plans to going forward. Even the L/LE hatch are scarce as hell (a token one at the dealership, if any at all). Plenty of crappy iA-version Yaris (Mazda2 rebadge) available though. I would have actually considered getting a blending-black 2018+ SE hatch on impulse if it was locally available or within several hundred miles, but I am not really interested in having to go out-of-state again to find the car that I want, like I did with my manual 2015 SE (dealers in AZ stopped stocking the manual Yaris in any trim after 2014). What a sad state of affairs in the U.S. for such a reliable, elegantly-simple, great little car. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Toyota discontinued the Yaris hatch here in the U.S. soon, or only imported it (L/LE trim) in limited quantities for sales to rental-fleet companies.

I heard the VW Golf R was scarce in Hawaii, but I see them fairly regularly.
That 2018 Yaris, on the other hand, was a true rarity. My wife thought I was nuts for taking a photo of it. |

I really hope they don't discontinue it, but I agree, Toyota's interests seem to be in promoting the "Yaris" sedan now. |

Pretty sad, considering a (black) Yaris SE hatch is still at the top of my list over any other new car out there. Nothing else interests me due to unwanted design/feature decisions on the part of automakers. I really do NOT want a traditional CVT, straight direct injection engine, push-button start, remote automatic unlock/start of vehicle via fob, all those stupid sensor 'safety features' that belong only in self-driving cars or perhaps in cars driven by bad/stupid drivers, etc. The Yaris (SE) hatch is almost a dream car in terms of avoiding that garbage, and getting what I do want - plus still looks sharp in black. |

I hope your dealerships bring in some 2019s for you to check out. Assuming there will be a 2019 Yaris hatchback. |

The July 2018 Toyota sales report was just released and the Yaris hatchback accounts for a whopping 0.073% of total Toyota sales in the US for 2018 to-date.
Comparison data for 2018: 239,485 Rav4 sold 205,106 Camry sold 188,216 Corolla sold 1,712 Land Cruiser (an $85,000 Toyota) sold 1,033 Yaris hatchback sold (-86% vs 2017) I'm thinking Collector's item! |

They advertise them on billboards here in Canada!
I wish I had snapped a picture! |
